The mum-of-five revealed on Loose Women yesterday how she was subjected to a welfare investigation.

She said that when she returned home one night with then husband Peter Andre, her disabled son Harvey, now 13, was screaming at the top of their stairs.

He had managed to pour boiling water into the bath and ended up seriously scalding himself.

SERIOUS: Blind Harvey made his way upstairs and burnt his hand

Blind Harvey had made his way upstairs because the child safety stairgate had been left open.

“You could see the police were embarrassed”

Kate, 37, said: “When I got home I could hear him screaming upstairs. So I said to Pete and the nanny at the time, ‘Where’s Harvey?’

“Someone hadn’t shut the gate and because he couldn’t see he turned on the tap and scalded his whole leg. He was at hospital for three months.”

Despite rushing to hospital with her son, an anonymous onlooker ended up reporting the former glamour model to social services.

And she had to be given the all-clear by authorities before the lad, who suffers from the the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome and is completely blind, was allowed home.

Kate added: “Someone at the first hospital reported me and said I must have done it on purpose. When they were going to discharge him, they said I couldn’t take him home.

“They told me I had been reported and social services have to clear it. The police came to my home and I had to show them the bath.

“You could see the police were embarrassed but, in a way, it’s good that they followed it up.”

Her revelation came as the ITV show discussed the death of 21-month-old Ayeeshia Jane Smith, whose mother Kathryn Smith, 23, was jailed for 24 years this week after being found guilty of stamping her daughter to death.
